What to do when you don't have a TV

Thank God for the internet and..
1. Look for photographs of yourself on facebook (thank you Marti Davila).
2. Read all the chismis blogs (perez hilton, tmz, pep).
3. Watch all the new Beyonce videos.
4. Answer emails. But no one has been writing me! It's the out-of-office autoreply I've got going, telling people to pretty much expect to be ignored for a couple of months. Plus my personal email is in the ICU, can't send out, can barely receive. Does not help that R put a block on the gallery gang sending me daily updates.

Make to do lists..
1. People to email in the morning
2. Stuff I have to finish this week
3. Trips I need to book out of Tokyo

Read a book..
1. am reading Machiavelli's THE PRINCE. Fun stuff especially when his solution to gaining control of situations is killing all your enemies and their children and children's children. Not very different from a brother telling me on my first day of first grade, 'hit them first, then they'll know who's boss'. Sorry for hitting you Nuki. I am a much gentler person these days. And that brother is somewhere I'd rather not be :)
2. next book is Collins' HUNGER GAMES

Do laundry + clean the room cubicle and bathroom...

Think of shows to put together...

I've walked about three to five kilometers a day since I've gotten here. Thank you sister B for getting me the Blundstones that are hands down the most comfortable shoes. Arigato gozaimasu. I've also expanded my experience of the very dense public transportation system. Today I went to the following stations: Harajuku, Yoyogi, Meguro, Shibuya, and my home Omotesando.

The Luxe guide we got a couple of years ago insisted that we go see the Meiji Shrine. Which we didn't then. So went today, well worth it. Being a Sunday and all. With the harajuku girls and the bo-peep boys (they seem to have replaced the hello kitty folk) at the entrance of the shrine, the contrast was complete.

Huge TV withdrawal going on, I'm trying to replace it with the internet but it's not working. Add to that that the feeling of being completely physically alone living in an office building. And when you do get out, no one speaks your language. It's a very very alienating experience.

I'm supposed to make art at the end of all of this. Did a roll today. Then went to Bic Camera in Shibuya. The camera store has a liquor section bigger than the film section. That was art.
